Everything You Wanted to Know About Eels… LIVE!

At the next Wagmatcook Lecture Series on Thursday June 6 we are presenting a series of ten short videos on eels and their importance in Mi’kmaq culture.

The videos tell everything we know about the American eel in Cape Breton.

UINR biologist Shelley Denny will be on hand with Mi’kmaq eel fishers Joe and Judy Googoo to introduce and discuss each video.

Produced in cooperation with Parks Canada,scientists from UINR, Parks Canada and Cape Breton University, fishers, cooks and Elders from around Cape Breton tell stories of the eel’s fascinating life cycle, its place in Mi’kmaq culture and efforts being made to protect its habitat.
